Introduction - Unit 19 Reflective approaches in implementing person centred practice

Reflective practice is used throughout the healthcare profession as a means to improving the practitioner’s skills, reviewing how they have dealt with situations that have occurred and identified areas that need further development. Overall this enables the practitioner to provide a high-quality service and adopt a more professional approach to the user of services. Being a reflective practitioner is key to lifelong learning and development for working in health, care and support service professions. Reflective practice works to ensure that a high-quality service is offered to the users of services and the effective practitioner identifies areas for development and where they can share good practice. This unit builds on learning from Unit 2: Demonstrating Professional Principles and Values in Health and Social Care Practice. It provides students with an opportunity to further develop their skills as reflective practitioners. P1 Compare how the medical and social models apply to personcentred practice in a health, care or support services. The evidence for the unit will be based on theoretical considerations as well as practice within the workplace. It requires students to bring together their classroom and workplace learning across their programme, demonstrating their professional development using reflective approaches. Learning in the workplace will be supplemented with wider understanding and knowledge from all parts of the course. Through this unit, students will be supported to take responsibility for their own learning, demonstrate their capacity to continuously learn and grow, reflect on their own practice and encourage others to develop their practice. It enables students to have a greater understanding of person-centred care, the legal and ethical framework under which practitioners operate, and further develop the skills required to develop them as reflective healthcare practitioners throughout their learning and career in the health and social care sector. As students will be reflecting using examples from real practice in their workplace setting, it is essential that students respect the confidentiality of information used within this unit.

Learning outcomes and criteria covered by this assignment:

• All pass criteria
• All merit descriptors
• All distinction descriptors

Edexcel Grading Criteria

This assignment/portfolio will be assessed according to the following grading criteria:

• To attain a ‘PASS‘ grade, students need to achieve all the ‘PASS‘ criteria.
• To attain a ‘MERIT‘ grade, students need to achieve all the ‘MERIT‘ criteria, along with all the ‘PASS’ criteria.
• To attain a ‘DISTINCTION‘ grade, students need to achieve all the ‘DISTINCTION’ criteria, along with all the ‘MERIT’ and PASS criteria.

*NB: It is not accepted practice to submit assignments that present the grades, pass, merit and distinction as separate entities.  A holistic integrated approach must be used whereby the criterion appears seamless within the body of the text.

Plagiarism and collusion

Any act of plagiarism and collusion will be seriously dealt with according to the City College Limited regulations. In this context the definition and scope of plagiarism are presented below:

• Using the work of others without acknowledging the source of information or inspiration. Even if the words are changed or sentences are put in a different order, the result is still plagiarism (Cortell 2003).

• Collusion is described as the submission of work produced as a result of the collaboration between two or more parties. Additionally, collaboration entails the sharing of one person‘s work with others who submit either all or part of their coursework ―as their own.

• Contract Cheating – the Use of Third-Party Services and Essay Mills The purchasing of essays from a third party and passing them off as a student’s original work is taken very seriously by both the College, by De Montfort University, and by Pearson Edexcel. The teaching practices, delivery methods and generally smaller class sizes within the College allow our staff to become more familiar with a student’s academic style and capabilities making them more able to detect fraudulent submissions that may nor otherwise be detected through Turnitin software. Unit 19 Reflective approaches in implementing person centred practice
